We performed a comparison between Mule ESB and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."Most of our use cases are for Salesforce. So, the connectors for Salesforce have been really helpful. They've made development two times faster."
"The setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the Salesforce integration."
"The most valuable feature for Mule is the number of connectors that are available."
"We can use Java expressions anywhere in the flow."
"The solution's drag-and-drop interface and data viewer helped us quite a lot."
"It's open source, and there are a lot of community resources. Mule ESB makes it easy to connect to other software applications."
"The most powerful feature is DataWeave, which is a powerful language where data can be transformed from one form into another."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information."
"The ability to stand up a highly available SOA Suite, which has full DR capabilities, in a remote center and synchronize the databases using Data Guard."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The integration with various products."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"It should have some amount of logging."
"In order to meet the new trend of active metadata management, we need intelligent APIs that can retrieve new data designs and trigger actions over new findings without human intervention."
"The current version will not be supported for much longer."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the generator for the DataWeave language so that it's a little more graphic."
"From the product perspective, it was sometimes hard to manage the dependencies. When we had to add dependencies on a couple of different packages, it was sometimes confusing. It was hard to update them with Anypoint Studio, as well as with MuleSoft. There were challenges with that. So, that's one of the areas that could be improved."
"MuleSoft is not so strong in method-based integration, so they're not so functional in that regard."
"The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"Its function options can be improved."
"An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue."
"The web services need to be more robust."
